Beyond those Immediately interested
there is no adequate conception Of the
vassness Of the paper bag business. There
are four houses in this city, employing
each about ilfty or sixty boys and girls,
and running two or three cutting and
pssting machines and printing presses,
that turn bags out by the hundreds of
thousands every day. The demand is said
To- be greater than the supply. The orders
are not confined TO this city alone, but
come also from distant towns. A new
and ingenious labor saving machine. that
has been tested and worked admirably, is
now being set up in one of these establish
ments and great things are expected of it.
Straw. white and MANILA are the papers
mostly used, and black ink. Many Of the
larger grocery houses and variety stores
have their special cut blocks from which
their advertisements are printed. One Of
the bag factories also turns ont handles
for packages, but this is a monopoly under
patent rights New York Times.

DAMAGED YOUNG AMERICA.

How Young Patriotism was Injured Yes
terAay-A Dozea Cases About the City.
There were almost countless accidents
yesterday about the city in which boys
were injured. some Of them for life. by the
careless handling Of powder or the explOs-
Ion OF toy cannons. incidental TO = eelebra-
ton Of the ever glorious Fourth of July.
Fully dozen boys were burnt about the
face with powder and some of them will
carry the marks to their graves.
John Moser. OF South street, son of
August M0ser, was very badly hurt
by the explosion of an overcharged toy
cannon. Five playmates were with him
and all six boys were terribly scorched and
burnt about the head and face. Moser is
likely To lose his left eye and two other of
the boys have badly damaged optics.
George Horner, youngster. living on
east Main street. accidentally touched of
half pound of powder and received terri
BILE injuries. His eye-lashes and winksrs
were burnt of and his face and hands ter
ribly burnt.
Little Rollo Lewis, a REPUBLIC carrier.
living on Chestnut avenue. was hurt BY an
explosion OF the same dangerous little
cannon. There is danger Of grave injury
to the left eye. which was badly burnt by
the nowder
Rrr, Wons living hack of Wittepberg

Or. r JNYAN At DONNEL SWLLE.

His Graphic and Effective sermon at the
Methodist Church Yesterday.
The services Ia observance of the Fourth
of July conducted by Rev. Dr. Runyan, of
this city. at the Methodist church at Don
nelsyille. at 3 O'Clock Sunday afternoon,
were remarkably successful and effective.
Mr.. Joseph Trumbo acted as master of Ger
emonies. The church was beautifully dee
Grated with flowers and flags. II is q pretty
little structure, tastefully frescoed, com
fortably furnished and capable OF seating
about six hundred. II was full 10 its
capacity, and many persons outside in
carriages attentively listened 10 the
services through the open window. One
half Of the church was filled by tins-look-
ing body of Grand Army men from Enon,
New Carlisle and Donnelsville. The ex-
cessively hot and dry weather doubtless
kept many away.
The choir rendered some very beautiful
music, among the most effective of which
was 1.-The Handwriting on the Wall"
Mrs. j. W. Taggart was leading soprano
and Miss Laura Trumbo organist. The
choir also included twelve or fourteen other
members
DIR. Runyan's sermon was the same dely-
cred on Memorial day at Central church TO
Mitchell post. President Cleveland's order TO
return rebel flags furnished matter for very
effective addition to it and was received by
the veterans with bated breaths. There
was very manifest feeling. which only
the fact that they were in church and it
was Sunday, restrained. At times the doc
tor would have them melted to tears. and
then again il seemed they were ready to let
go one of their old army yells. The speak
er's graphic description Of Gettysburg, the
fighting by the soldiers, and Linc0ln's
prayer, as described by DR.. Runyan, drew
tears from many eyes.
The services concluded with a song by
choir. God be with you till We meet
again"

WORK OF RAILROAD cleaks,
Labor which Requires Constant ssd
Long Continued Attention.

Labor which Requires Constant and
Long Continued Attention.
Considering the amount Of work done
by railroad clerks the constant attention,
long hours and responsibility, they are
without doubt the worst paid and most
dependent Of employees. Railroad clerks
wages range from $50 q month upward.
A man who has $50 or $50 month is
considered in good circumstances. They
are, as rule, a sober, steady, industrious
lot, the majority, perhaps being married
men, and with such meager wages bring
ing up families respectfully.
Receiving clerks get from $55 TO SOS Q
month, and are supposed to have the
easiest places among the clerks. Their
day begins at =, n. IN. and ends As soon
after ss they can finish receiving. They
must have thorough knowledge Of the
road and its connections and all the terri
tory covered by it, and extreme accuracy
is required Of them, aS they are held re-
sponsible for any errors or shortages which
may arise. 1t sometimes happens that
they have TO try conclusions. and give or
take licking from a truck driver who
considers himself aggrieved, or who has
tried the clerks patience beyond endur-
ance limits. The receiving clerk signs the
and the duplicate thereof which he re-
tains, thus identifying himself with the
receipt of the goods and shouldering tn
responsibility for the quantity, conditio.
and correctness Of the shipment. The
duplicate is passed with the goods to the
checker, who's. duty it is TO compare the
marking of tie goods with the written in
structions of the duplicate, note thereon
the weight. the number Of the car in which
the goods are loaded, and sign it, thus a.
it were indorsing the receiving clerk as Ia
quantity and correctness Of address. The
checker must be very quick Of eye and
rapid to select the duplicate required from
among perhaps 100 held between his
fingers. The checkers day begins at q.
III and ends when the last Of the goods to
De shipped are put into the car. This not
infrequently is far into the night. Dur
ing a busy season fourteen and fifteen
hours a day il not at all unusual, and for
this overtime, as it is called, no allowance
is made. and the checker, having worked
until perhaps midnight or later, is ex
pected TO be at his work on time in the
morning Freight checkers get about $50
\ month.
The duplicate, with the weight Of the
goods, the number of the car in which
they have been slowed, and the signatures
of receiving and checking clerks on 1t, IL
now passed on to the billing department,
where the shipment is manifested to its
destination. A car Of freight, before leav-
ing the station at which it Is loaded, Is
sealed with the sea! Of that station, and
that seal must he found intact when the
car reaches its destination. As it Is passed

Joe Quinn. In = Dru.ksn Frensy, Drives
Ms Arm Through window and Horri-
bly, Cuts Himself.
About 3 O'Clock yesterday afternoon an
exciting scene was enacted at Hamilton X
BroOks's coal Office, on south Limestone
street. Joe Quinn, Of Yellow Springs. had
been in the city all day, and Springfield
whisky finally got the better Of him. He
was crazy drunk when his brother tried to
get him on the train To take him home. He
refused to board the train, and succeeded
In reaching Limestone street. his brother
holding him all the time. A great crowd
gathered around, and Quinn's brother
begged the men to come to his
assistance, saying that with lit
tie help. he could throw him
to the ground and tie him, that being the
only way he could be handled when he was
in such frenzy. Not man, however, had
nerve enough 10 render the young fellow
any assistance. Police Clerk Morrill,. who
happened to be passing. saw what the diff
hculty was, and blew his whistle for an
officer. He then forced his way through
the crowd toward Quinn. intending 10 take
hold OF him. Before he could reach him
the crazy man drove his left arm clear to
the shoulder through one of Hamilton Il
BrOoks's windows. His arm was bare. his
coat and shirt sleeve having been torn
oil IN the struggle with his
brother. The glass cut the
biceps muscle entirely in two and severed
the main artery of the arm. The blood
poured from the wound in perfect stream
and the man would very likely have bed
to death had not Clerk Morrill, quickly tied
his handkerchief above the wound. thus
shutting of the blood.
Quinn WAS taken to Dr. Russelrs Office
where his injury was dressed, and then
taken 10 the station house. About 10
O'Clock he was taken to his home in Yellow
Springs. Dr. Russell says that Quinn will
almost certainly lose the arm, as the small
artery cannot supply sufficient amount Of
blood To keep the arm alive.

all the colors Of the rainbow. The dance
was under the direction Of Ko-ti-a-con

knees and offer up their ''amens' to the
